Overview
- The president warned of a "very substantial" response if Canada finalizes a trade deal with China, reiterating earlier threats of sweeping penalties.
- He previously floated 100% tariffs on Canadian goods, a 50% levy on aircraft built in Canada, and the revocation of certifications for jets from makers such as Bombardier.
- Aviation groups highlight that FAA rules tie certification actions to safety grounds, raising legal hurdles, and U.S. carriers rely on Canadian-made regional planes for many routes.
- On Cuba, he said he expects a deal and threatened extra tariffs on countries supplying the island with oil, a move criticized by Havana and watched warily by Mexico.
- With Iran, both sides expressed openness to talks as the U.S. deployed the USS Abraham Lincoln and Iran put forces on high alert, while Qatar pursued de‑escalation diplomacy in Tehran.
